DLL Interface

The DLL interface is a program that is supplied with the Fastmatics product at no additional charge. The interface header is provided as well. If you choose to extend the functionality of Fastmatics you may do so in any programming environment that allows you to program with a DLL, which is a standard interface protocol.

The DLL Interface can be run on any computer that is on the Local Area Network that has a Fastmatics program to which you want to interface. The DLL itself contains the TCP/IP wrapper functions that communicate directly with Fastmatics via the LAN so you will not need to learn or deal with TCP/IP to make a very functional remote monitoring station, for example.

Upon initialization Fastmatics transmits the entire IO Map database to the computer running the DLL, Fastmatics maintains not only signal names but the signal values - automatically.

Fastmatics can accept up to eight HMI programs and user extensions running at the same time.

Sample code for compiling with a DLL can be provided upon request.
